I finally finished my costume today! It only took me three weeks to finish it all, but I did it! It looks pretty good, and I will look (do I dare say it?) adorable. There are some mistakes, but not ones that you can see from far away. I am done working on it for now, but I think I will pull it out again in a few weeks and fix those mistakes. Right now, I am tired of looking at it and slaving over it for hours each day. I shall put up pictures of me in it tomorrow after the ward party.

Training for the triathlon is going well. I can do this! I know I can. I even went out and bought an athletic swimsuit, something I haven't owned in years! This shows how serious I am about this triathlon. It snowed last night though (in OCTOBER!), and if it is snowing while I am running and/or biking, I swear, I will not be a happy woman. I will be praying for warm weather.
